Hard to get excited by his recent hurdle exploits but the fact he won this race last year (off 2 lb lower) means it would be no surprise to him bounce back with a bang returned to the Flat.

16:18 Leopardstown - 9 April 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

IMPERIAL FIGHTER hasn't shaped too badly in 2 AW starts for this yard (went off too hard latest) and might be worth siding with back on turf with Billy Lee taking the reins this time. Last year's winner Desert Haven and the Ado McGuinness-trained Comfort Line are others likely to have a say.
